Improvements:

Use Flow Generative Scheduling to quickly generate scenarios of a schedule imported from Flow Production Tracking.

Look at the presentation video here!

Schedules are commonly built on estimates and assumptions, but inevitably things change during the lifecycle of a project. The project schedule needs to be continually adjusted to accommodate changes in constraints.

However, adjusting and re-leveling a schedule is time consuming. Staying ahead of changing project requirements quickly becomes unmanageable, and ensuring that your schedule continually matches your project’s needs can feel impossible.

This is where Flow Generative Scheduling aims to help, by providing you with the ability to create realistic and balanced schedules that are easy to explore and adjust throughout the lifecycle of your project.

Accessing Flow Generative Scheduling

Flow Generative Scheduling is part of the Flow Production Tracking subscription. Your administrator gives you access to it from Flow Production Tracking. Once you have access, you can launch Flow Generative Scheduling from the Apps menu.
